Have you recently read an upvoted Reddit comment that was bigoted, creepy, misogynistic, transphobic, racist, homophobic, or just reeking of unexamined, toxic privilege? Of course you have! Post it here.

1. RULE X: SRS is a circlequeef and interrupting the circlequeef is an easy way to get banned. Do not say a comment is "not that bad". Do not defend linked comments. Do not play Devil's Advocate. Do not attempt to start a debate. This list is not exhaustive. You will not get a warning.

This is our space to vent amongst like-minded people. We will not tolerate rude interruptions. Also, you are not entitled to "explanations" just because you come across our sub.

2.ShitRedditSays is not a downvote brigade.Do not downvote any comments in the threads linked from here! Pretend the rest of Reddit is a museum of poop. Don't touch the poop. (Commenting in linked threads is fine.)

3. No "ironic" or "satirical" use of slurs.

4. No violent rhetoric.

5. To our readers: consider this entire sub to be labelled with one gigantic trigger warning.

HOW TO POST

1. Only submit horrible comments that have been upvoted above a net score of +20. If a thread has multiple shitty comments, feel free to compile them in an effortpost.

2. Focus on the large, mainstream subreddits.Low-hanging fruit from obvious hate groups, circlejerks, troll subreddits, and the like can be submitted to the weekly low-hanging fruit megathread located at the top of the sub.

3. Titles should be direct quotes of comments (NO EDITORIALIZING) followed by the number of total votes in brackets like this: [+30]. (Effortpost titles can be anything.)

4. Submissions must be the direct permalink to the comment. If the comment you're linking to requires some context, just add ?context=x to the URL, where x is the number of parent comments you want displayed.

5. Don't link to threads you're involved in, or to shit you just disagree with

6. Don't submit questions or "discussions" about feminism, social justice, etc. Check the sidebar for appropriate discussion subs in the Fempire.

Reddit is split into subcommunities known as "subreddits," meaning that while reddit exists as a website, it consists of the sum of its subcommunities. People can subscribe to each community and participate by sharing and commenting.

Unfortunately, the reddit community as a whole also harbors and caters to pedophiles, distributors of child pornography, rapists, peeping Toms, and sex offenders.

Reddit users, as well as people in the media, have criticized Reddit's permissive attitude towards child exploitation. Unfortunately, while admins didn't ban sexualized images of children on paper until last February (http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/02/policy-shift-reddit-bans-child-pornography.html), the rule remains unenforced, indicating that they are more interested in shielding themselves from bad press than protecting innocent kids.

A list of "jailbait" (child porn) forums that are currently on reddit:

Some of these forums are hidden and invite only which makes it impossible to know how many actually exist.

The owners of reddit know there is active trading of child porn on their forums and refuse to do anything about it. Any reports are deleted and ignored. Further, Reddit's cofounder simply dismisses the issue and blames the exploited children whose pictures are being traded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXZYvrue1BE

Included in the Anderson Cooper report was the statement by Reddit General Manager Erik Martin which defends the child pornography remaining on the site: "We’re a free speech site and the cost of that is there’s offensive stuff on there … Once we start taking down some things we find offensive, then we’re no longer a free speech site and no longer a platform for everyone. We’re exerting editorial control and that’s not what we are." http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/02/policy-shift-reddit-bans-child-pornography.html

The former leader of the child pornography rings, Violentacrez, is often in direct contact with the owners of the site. Erik Martin (aka hueypriest) went so far as to warn Violentacrez before reluctantly making the announcement last February. http://pastebin.com/eWhyDXCH

Reddit also has subreddits which publish images of women's and underage girls' private areas, including "upskirt" and "downblouse" pictures, without the knowledge or consent of their subjects. The users of these subreddits trade tips on how to stalk and photograph women and minors and encourage each other to go out and take more such pictures.

A list of these forums currently on Reddit include:

CreepShots

Upskirt

Downblouse

yogapants

Voyeur

A majority of these images are of girls in high school classroom settings.

Creepshots' FAQ states:
"Creepshots are CANDID. If a person is posing for and/or aware that a picture is being taken, then it ceases to be candid and thus is no longer a creepshot. A creepshot captures the natural, raw sexiness of the subject without their vain attempts at putting on a show for the camera. That is the essence of the creepshot, that is what makes a true creepshot worth the effort and that is why this sub-reddit exists."

One user, called SFJohnny, secretly video tapes himself raping and beating hundreds of women and girls, and shares them on reddit. http://i.imgur.com/1Hkpt.png

Not only is this all of this disgusting, it's illegal as per the Video Voyeurism Act of 2004.

Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, has the intent to capture an image of a private area of an individual without their consent, and knowingly does so under circumstances in which the individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Other forums are explicitly devoted to filming sexual assaults and sharing them on reddit as pornography for other users. These include:

Reddit is the most popular with college aged asshats in the US. Lots o' colleges have a black list for websites that contain child pornography or illegal material. Find as many emails for schools as you can and mass email this sucker out.

Act Local. If you're in America, I bet there's 20 churches near your home. Each church could have around 100 CONCERNED PARENTS that go to PTA meetings and talk to other parents. Send the "Redditbomb" to local politicians and churches. Let them see that their children are using a website that exploits and sexualizes children.

You can send tips to the FBI all day (god knows I do), but I think a grassroots campaign could do wonders.

Do you know how BORING local news is? Can you imagine if your local news could run a "IS YOUR CHILD POSTING IN A PEDOPHILE WEBSITE? STATISTICALLY THERE'S AN 80% CHANCE!" story? Holy shitballs they'd be all over it.

Project PANDA distribution list

Churches, PTAs, Schools

Act Local send it to nearby high schools and churches. If you're in America, there's easily 20 churches near your home. Each church will have 30 to several thousand parents that go to PTA meetings and talk to other parents. Send the it to local politicians schools and churches. Let them see that their children are using a website that exploits and sexualizes children.

It would be pretty hilarious if we started a hashtag that actually got people talking. We should have a set hashtag. Project PANDA is cool but doesn't give any clues to what it might be about. Perhaps #Redditdelendaest ;)

I'm going to be buggering off for a while because I have crap-tons of baking to do, but if people seem to agree on one then someone should message Dworks to put it in the main post. :D I deleted my Twitter because it wouldn't stop displaying my real name when you googled my username, but I would make a new one for this level of LOL.

My boyfriend is the same way- he's in the process of quitting as I'm sliding into the fempire, so his distaste for it all contrasts my excitement about finally being able to laugh at the horrible, terrifying shit people say.

While Conde Nast is part of Advance Publications, which is privately held, Advanced Publications keeps a low corporate profile. They hold a bunch of mainstream publications like Parade and Golf Digest and such.

So if enterprising SRS Sisters were to dig up the contact information for business-focused press like CNBC, the WSJ (specifically a relevant business editor), CNN Money, etc. with Major Magazine/Newspaper Publisher Also Owns Child Pornography Distribution Website, I imagine shit would get difficult real quick for the upholders of frozen peaches.

The publishers of Golf Digest do not strike me as the sort of folks to undertake a free speech battle for the sake of pictures of underage girls.

Furthermore, as what are functionally sellers of ad space on various content sites, they live and die by their advertisers. So every time you see an ad or product mention or AMA on Reddit from HotNewProduct, track down that company's contact information (preferably an actual person, not a generic info@ email) and politely ask if they are aware of the information in the Redditbomb and ask them if they are comfortable with their products being advertised/promoted on such a site.

And don't just limit yourselves to your national and state representatives. People who hold local offices are going to have way more time to listen and are going to be way easier to visit. Folks in local government have all sorts of contacts in the community that they may be willing to share with you if they think your complaint is credible and that there's a chance of inciting change!

i reblogged this on tumblr and i'm already getting messages(3 so far how exciting!) from people telling me 'reddit totally cares about CP omg they are very strict about it and the admins and mods don't let it slide are you even an active reddit user do you even go to the site??'

uh yeah i'm active enough to see the sick pedo-apologist rapist loving shit that goes down here daily so i think i'm safely allowed to say NUKE IT FROM FUCKING ORBIT

omg the beardhurt on tumblr is almost as delicious as the beardhurt on reddit.

one time, i posted a few Salt N Pepa videos (because duh, Salt N Pepa 4EVA) with a little blurb about how Salt N Pepa made me the woman I am today, and I got a bunch of messages about how I was a horrible black woman and shouldn't be online.

And then one time I used "die cis scum" as a tag and I got like fifty messages telling me to kill myself because I was a horrible tr**ny who didn't deserve to live.

And I was just like, "I'm a cis white woman but WHATEVER LOOK AT DESE MAN FEELZ" and also I felt good because maybe those fucks didn't harass any actual black people or trans*spectrum folk or anything that day.

Oh yeah, I stopped browsing the feminism tag and the like because the MRA's discovered tumblr. Not to mention a lot of common tags a lot of people follow on tumblr get spammed with shock porn and gore (basically any fandom tag followed by lots of women get targeted).

Do you know how BORING local news is? Can you imagine if your local news could run a "IS YOUR CHILD POSTING IN A PEDOPHILE WEBSITE? STATISTICALLY THERE'S AN 80% CHANCE!" story? Holy shitballs they'd be all over it.

A major government dude lives on my street! Which happens to be in a very influential district in a very influential city in a very influential state. (Nothing more informative than this because fuck you doxxers.) I watch their house when they go out of town and babysit their children because they are wonderful and I love them. I think that he and his meddling wife (father and mother to tween children) will be VERY interested in all of this sweet info.

Yes. Really nice summary of what's wrong with those subreddit's in that link:

Look through their long list of nasty subreddits, and that’s the theme running through them: these are forums dedicated to obtaining revealing images of minors, of people in private situations, of people being raped or beat up, and making them public. Or dedicated to teaching people how to violate others. It shouldn’t be about taking down things some people find offensive, it should be about demanding responsibility and requiring permission before publishing photographs of someone’s breasts (oh, hi, Kate Middleton!) and making special efforts to shelter people who can’t give informed consent, like children.

That’s what makes the people who participate in those subgroups creepy. It’s not that they like to talk about sex, or that they’re defenders of free speech…it’s that they don’t give a damn about privacy or autonomy.

This is a throwaway,I just wanted to let you know that I've sent this to my local news channels. I actually got a few replies from one agency, and a phonecall from them that shows they are very interested. If I know more, I will share, and if I hear a peep about it on the air, I will record it and share it with my SRSters.

I'm really glad you put this together again, d-style. I was just thinking over the weekend about how much the child porn shit on reddit has been getting to me a lot lately. I've been so goddamn sad about it and this actually made me feel a bit up. Thank you.

I made a new account to post in this...as a male I've been a little shy of posting here but have been lurking SRS since I discovered it a few days ago (yes I'm late to the party..I'm a fairly new redditor.) I've been signed up to reddit for a few months now..mostly only visited the front page & soccer subreddit (heh) but became increasingly more disgusted with this website the more rape apologia & harbouring I witnessed in discussions on the front page.

All I can say is...who in their right mind would have ANYTHING TO SAY about subreddits like Johhnybait being banned? Free speech? Are you kidding me? When I went to check that subreddit out it looked like there were girls as young as 12 years old on there. So stomach turning. The only people defending these places would be pedophiles - flat out. No decent person in their right mind would have a problem with these subreddits being removed and banned.

and Creepshots is a whole 'nother level of scum sucking, neckbeard basement dwelling sadness. Do these men not have mothers/sisters/partners/nieces etc who they care about??? Thats the main part that brothers me...such an absolute disregard for the basic respect of human rights. They are sociopaths, plain and simple.

I'm sending all this to three of my local papers, and local blogs. This is beyond unacceptable and has to stop NOW.

so it has begun. the beginning of the end. the third pedogeddon. we don't need no water let this pedo-website burn

It began in the Earth year 2257, with the founding of the last of the Reddit stations, located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats . . . and travelers from a hundred worlds. Could be a dangerous place – but we accepted the risk, because Reddit was our last, best hope for peace.

Under the leadership of its final commander, Reddit was a dream given form: a dream of a galaxy without war, when species from different worlds could live side by side in mutual respect. A dream that was in danger as never before, by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction.

You can't see the username, but the OP of that thread is /u/Jaistar , /u/jaistar2k22 and formerly /u/Jaistarspenis and he is posting personal information and encouraging more illegal activity (while proving our point). Please report that user, thread and subreddit to the admins.

How have I never seen /r/brosrights/ before? I'm usually not really surprised when forums dedicated to Internet meta-metadrama turn out to be populated by 10-year-olds with no perspective (see: SRD), but man that is just an amazing craphole.

You know when you see news reports of children found in unsanitary houses making forts out of piled-up garbage and stuff, and you wonder, how can anyone live like this? That's what it's like to see people posting in brosrights.

Reading these comments is making me feel... well, um... I'm fairly sure it's not mangry, nor is it beardhurt. It's more like the feeling you get when your eyes are a just little damp but you can't help smiling, and your heart's thumping in your chest, and there're butterflies in your stomach. It's a good feeling, and it's something you have given me. Thank you.

Just forced myself to read this entire post. I feel really sick. I had no idea Reddit has so many disgusting, vile subreddits. Stugglefucking? Subs dedicated to incest, child porn, rape, and physical violence against human beings?

And the big wigs at the top. Oh, Reddit is too big to stop supporting child rape. Bull shit. This subreddit alone has 41 moderators. Do you know how many people would jump at the chance to bulldoze r/strugglefucking or r/beatingwomen?

I mean for heavens sake. I'm not sure what subreddits there are for the KKK or the Aryan Brotherhood, but I'm pretty damn sure there's not 20 versions of an r/ShowOffYourNooseAndDead[Slur].

As much as I love that it's posted here and on the tumblr, is there somewhere "formal" we could publish it as a white paper? Also, I would change "kids" to "children" in the paragraph above the list of jailbait forums. I think if we have somewhere "formal" to link this to we can also get it spreading across facebook as well.

Surely someone here has access to a semi-formal news blog or site they could put this up on.

The accumulated filth of all their sexism and paedophilia will foam up about their waists and all the neckbeards and redditors will look up and shout "Free Speech!" and I'll look down and whisper "Ben."

That which sleeps lies eternal. And with strange aeons even death may die. Beneath the field of burned bras, great SRS waits for the stars to align and wash the earth with the contents of our diva cups.
